Kung Pow: Enter the Fist - laughed myself sick (1 Viewer)

[Shayne Lebrun]

Was trolling through Apple's trailers, and found this:

and LAUGHED SO HARD I DAMN NEAR THREW UP!
Had NEVER heard of this movie before seeing this. Looks great!

Really funny! :
I wish they wouldn't have put that lame Matrix spoof in the trailer though... haven't we seen that enough already? Well, not with a cow shooting milk, but still.

The real lame thing about the trailer was...

"And to check out the hotties."

Why did the "movie guy" have to say that???

Other than that it looked... funny.

 

[Joseph Goodman]

I felt about fifteen IQ points stupider after I saw the trailer for that the other day.

I also hated it when I saw it. The main guy is Steve Oedekerk. He directed Liar, Liar and AV2. Guess he figured it was easy to act, so he made this.

Take care,

Chuck

I'd like to change my view. I thought it was very funny when I first watched it, but a second viewing showed too many things I thought were lame... oh well, I guess now I'll just see it on DVD.

Heck, I'm even going to edit my initial reply.

This trailer also made me feel somewhat sick...but not from laughter.

 

[Mike St.Louis]

Hilarious.

Not.

Oh come on guys...there is a place in movies for just plain goofiness. Somedays I want to see a movie where I don't have to think, don't even have to be aware that I'm sitting in a theater...just shovel the picture and sound in my head and I'll be happy.

Oh come on guys...there is a place in movies for just plain goofiness.

Absolutely. But that doesn't mean they have to resort to tired cliches.

From the looks of this trailer it seems the creativity stopped after they came up with the name. "Kung Pow: Enter the Fist" is a hilarious title. A parody of Kung Fu movies seems like a great idea.

One word: Airplane!

 

[Mike St.Louis]

One word: Airplane!

Exactly! The grand-daddy of all parodies.

I watched the trailer a couple of times and I do admit it does drop in value after repeated viewing. But the first time I saw it I wasn't expecting it and it was a good thing I wasn't driking milk or it would have squirted out my nose. I still find the scene where he punches at the board pretty damn funny. But then I didn't like Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, so what do I know?

I was busting up....someone's gotta make a kung-fu spoof, right?

I don't know... I mean, is any kung-fu spoof really going to be more absurd then what's already out there? They've been having Bridgette Lin & Michelle Yeoh double features at a local theater lately, and, really, Kung Pow actually looks about as nutty as the likes of Zu: Warriors Of The Magic Mountain or Heroic Trio.
